    14th Annual Ride To Work Day 2005

    For those who aren't commuters, get on yer bike!!

    I ride the dirt, I ride the tide
    I search the outside, search inside
    I know I'll always burn to be
    Remind me of what left this outlaw torn

    Notice the date is chosen by the Northern Hemisphere types. How about we set it for January the 20th & see how they go
    It is better to have ridden & crashed than never to have ridden at all

    What's wrong with the date? It's a Wednesday, should be OK for most?

    Because those up north are a bunch of fair weather riders. We're much harder that that.

    Have to agree. It's mid-summer in the northern hemisphere, so the "International ride-to-work day" suits them fine. In January when the Yanks are organising a ski-week, are we all going to get our skis out to ski to work?

    Heavy frosts and black ice are not ideal conditions for riding to work. Common sense says we organise a summer day for the southern hemisphere.

    Early start? Rush hour motorway traffic?

    Ahh wouldn’t it be nice just to see only bikes on the Pakarunga HW or any other stupidly congested road. Only if the world was a better place!!
